DESCRIPTION:

Looking for an exceptional home that says, "IMPRESS ME!" This beauty may be IT! This designer home flows seamlessly between rooms, displaying a peaceful aura of subtle elegance with classic eye catching features and distinctive touches in every room. Although the home isn't yet a year old, 80K worth of upgrades were added by the sellers after closing. You will be awestruck by your first impression! The lawn has been meticulously landscaped, adding lighted raised beds with white stones and unique art, and the entire front of the home has been dressed in stacked stone. Stepping inside will take your breath away! An expansive 23x6 Foyer welcomes you with luxury flooring that flows throughout the living spaces, deep crown molding, and three crystal chandeliers. Interior square columns have been added to the entrance of the elegant Dining Room that showcases a coffered ceiling and heirloom chandelier. The light-filled Family Room with stone gas fireplace and Kitchen are opened to one another, creating the perfect space for entertaining! The Kitchen is unbelievable! The custom granite center island and extended height cabinetry combine with wide soft-close drawers, polished ceramic backsplash, and a full bank of high end appliances to create an aesthetic and functional chef's dream. The inviting Morning Room has been styled with matching entrance columns, shire style lighting, and many windows to gaze out at the exceptional back yard. The main level Bedroom and Bath are tucked away together and would make a perfect Guest or In-Law space. As you make your way up the new hardwood staircase, you'll stop short at the sight of the dramatic crystal chandelier that ties into the home's details beautifully! The seller has also replaced the balusters and previous knee-wall to continue the open, airy feel. Upstairs, you will discover a large Bonus Loft for your family to gather more casually and two secondary Bedrooms that have walk-in closets and share the Hall Bath with extended vanity and deep linen closet. The pièce de resistance of the second floor is the unbelievable Owner's Suite! This vast Bedroom is accented by a deep trey ceiling, extravagant chandelier, and plush carpet. The Bath is simply "to die for!" Having an 8' Roman shower with double hardware and bench seat, large ceramic tile floors, and dual extended vanity with oil-rubbed bronze, you will want to retreat here after a long day. The finishing touch is an amazing 12x11 walk-in closet with shelving to house all your personal items. Consistent with the care of the home, the fenced back yard has been extravagantly planted with serpentines, roses, Italian Cypress, spiral pines, and an assortment of juniper! You will appreciate the covered porch and newly added Patio for grilling and relaxing in the sun. Other important features include a fully equipped tiled Laundry, the wired technology hub, and finished Garage with deep workshop alcove! 420 Merkel Dr is perfectly situated between Greenville and Spartanburg and is convenient to I-85, GSP International Airport, Prisma Health's Greer campus, and BMW's local headquarters. The best part is that almost everything is negotiable... down to the art on the walls! You will want to see this for yourself!
